Species A, B...
The 2006 Vecchione & Young paper calls Wikipedia's species B (G. O. Sars 2004 specimen) species A and our species C the "BMNH squid". Is there a source that M. atlantica was ever called "species A" before its description? If so, there is need to disambiguate between the 2 "species A"s. If not, there is some mv-ing to do.

Image copyright problem with Image:Magnapinna pacifica.jpg
The image
Image:Magnapinna pacifica.jpg is used in this article under a claim of
fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the
requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an
explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check
That there is a
non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.
ABC News has the oil company footage under the label "Magnapinna squid" but because this isn't given as an alternate name here, it's hard to find the wiki information for it. Is magnapinna squid an inappropriate neologism or a fairly common term for these things? -

"Long-armed Squid" redirects to
Chiroteuthis veranyi whilst "Long-arm squid" redirects here (bigfin squid). This article uses both names interchangeably. (Note also difference in capitalisation of "squid" in the redirect titles: "Long-armed squid" and "Long-arm Squid" don't redirect to anything.)
The two creatures don't seem to be closely related: is a disambiguation page needed? I wonder if Chiroteuthis veranyi is really referred to as a long-armed squid though - the picture isn't very convincing.

Adult specimens of magnapinna have not been collected but at this date it is generally assumed that video observations of larger, similar squid are adult individuals of magnapinna. Multiple papers have been published on video observations predicated on this assumption, and one of the scientists who described the family, Michael Vecchione, unambiguously refers to larger specimens from video observations as magnapinna. The video of the NOAA sighting from 2021, for example, contains audio of him identifying the squid as magnapinna.

Alister Hardy
I was able to recover a 1956 edition of the book by Alister Hardy and there's no mention of Octopodoteuthopsis. Perhaps is it another edition of the book?--
